as possible they found the floor on fire. some
distance from the stove. A hole about twelve
inches in diameter was burned through the
floor. 1t was exceedingly fortunst e that the
young men saw the fire when they did, as

Carrollton Record:.-"Those sympathetic
newspaper men whose mouths have been
watering for some of that 3O-year-old
whisky In the bed of the Missouri river
must possess their souls in patience and con
tent themselves with 40 cent whisky. The
attempt to get at it has been abandoned.
We presume no one will ever again attempt
to get it. There has been several Thousand
dollars sunk In that bar, beside what WAS in
the steamer, and it has discouraged all who
have had anything to do with it.. "

at reading this paragraph from the Gridley
CAL. Herald:-"On Monday night the host o
ducks had increased TO such an extent that the
noise of their wings could be heard severa,
miles away, and sounded as If q cyclone OF
heavy hsilstorm was approaching. Many
r%anchers built fires In the fields and KEEP
watch Of their gram all night, firing wolfe,
after volley into the army of feathered invad
ers at every opportunity. On one ranch s
crew Of three killed 269 ducks during the
night. The noIse OF the conflict was quite
plainly heard here, five miles distant, anc
about midnight sounded as If a military en-
gagement was In progress. Every nigh
since the adobe lands present q picturesque
appearance, being plentifully dotted witt
blazing bonfres, while the sound of firearms
Is heard almost constantly In one direction Of
another. The scarcity of ducks in the early
part OF the season had led many to believe The
birds exteTminsted, and the query now agi,
Eating every mind is, where have the pest,
been keeping Themselves"
